I recently started training with a TPI certified trainer and she has had me using the foam roller at the end of our session. It feels good generally but has taken some getting used to some of the moves. am not sure if the device she has used on my calves is the "stick" referred to earlier but she rolls it on my calves and boy when she hits a tight knot in my calf I know it but with some work it loosens and feels better. I am looking at purchasing a foam roller for home use.

My wife has had one and its use is sort of on and off by her. I keep looking at it and thinking I should use it prior to the workouts I do get in. After this thread I think I'm going to have to give it a harder look.

There is a great TPI Video on the Titleist TPI website...just do a quick search for foam rollers, the trainer has a great video on the proper use...he discusses how to move slowly using them to stretch out muscles etc... 30 seconds per leg!
